| It’s been around for some twenty years
|
| I carry a torch in my own way
|
| But how long can a good thing last?
|
| I start hearin' people say
|
| The good, the bad, and the ugly
|
| They, they’ve all taken their turn
|
| So light a candle and watch the flame, watch the flame
|
| Until there’s nothin' left to burn
|
| Hey boys, we’re all in this thing together
|
| And hey boys, we’ve all been waiting forever
|
| But a change is gonna come
|
| Heh! |
| Hey, boys
|
| Hey, boys, hey, boys
|
| We’ve all played musical chairs
|
| Been left out in the cold
|
| There comes a time, a time for change, yes it does
|
| And then we’ll have control
|
| I’m gettin' tired of that same old song
|
| I wanna do more than shout, yeah
|
| Someday our turn will come around, yeah
|
| It’s comin' without a doubt
|
| Hey boys, we’re all in this thing together
|
| Hey boys, we’ve all been waiting forever
|
| And a change is gonna come
|
| A change is gonna come
|
| Yeah, it’s gonna come
|
| Hey, hey, boys
|
| Yeah, it’s just around the corner
|
| Now, hey boys, hey boys
|
| A change is gonna come
|
| We’ve all played musical chairs
|
| Oh, but a change is gonna come
|
| Yeah, oh, a change is gonna come
|
| Now, hey boys, hey boys
|
| A change is gonna come
|
| Oh, hey boys, hey boys |
